Profile:

Bob Berry honed his craft in the Lancashire Leagues before making his debut for his native county in 1948. His well-flighted slow left arm orthodox spin made an immediate impression, and he was picked for England on his home ground of Old Trafford in 1950. He took an excellent 5-63 against a strong West Indies side, capturing the wickets of Worrell and Walcott, and a further four wickets in the second innings. Although he did not take a wicket in West Indies' historic victory in the Second Test, he bowled economically. But England had many spinners competing for Test places, with the likes of Laker, Wright and Hollies, and although Berry toured Australia with FR Brown's team in 1950-51, he did not play in another Test. He did take all ten Worcestershire wickets in 1953, obviously making an impression, as he left Lancashire for Worcestershire in 1955. After three years he moved on to Derbyshire, where he became the first player to be capped for three counties. In retirement he earned local fame as a pigeon breeder (DL,2000).
